What is the minimum VPS configuration that will be sufficient to create your own VPN on it just for web surfing?

Question

VPN

There is a desire to rent a VPS and create a personal VPN or proxy on it to be able to visit blocked websites. Two people will use this VPN.

In general, as always - kroilovo leads to popadalov

Answer 3

I'm using the same offer. Just not much more dancing when setting up without a clean external IP. The main thing is that virtualization should be KVM. openvz requires tun or tap to be enabled from admins..

Answer 4

any vpn will suffer on such vps, if you only watch sites and don’t download anything, then it’s ok
